Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has admirers from Manchester United, according to The Daily Mail’s Jack Gaughan.
And, as to be expected, plenty of United fans have been giving their thoughts on social media.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to be safe for now after a 5-0 humiliation to arch-rivals Liverpool on the weekend, even though Antonio Conte is reportedly open to taking over at Old Trafford.
Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag has also been linked, and according to Gaughan, writing for The Daily Mail and shared on social media by @utdreport, Ten Hag and Rodgers have admirers from United.
Rodgers recently came out on top against Solskjaer, with his Foxes side running out 4-2 winners over the Red Devils in the Premier League.
He averages 1.79 points per game at the King Power, just shy of Solskjaer’s 1.81 points per game in Manchester. The Northern Irishman has also won nine honours as a boss, however, the links have divided a number of supporters.
